The BCS dp_sync data contain instrument data, including the detector event counters, in a form that is synchronous with the rest of the frames of the data from the spacecraft DP. The spectral data, because of the queue memory, are asynchronous to this data.

It is also possible at this point to use the BSD suite of FORTRAN-77 and IDL software. By using BSC2BSD, a BSC structure can be converted to a BSD structure (and optionally a BSD file) and following this, any of the routines that normally work off the BSD file (including the programs BSDCAL and BSDFIT) can be used. See section 2.4 for details on BSD routines.
